## Summary

Ashford Borough Council initiated a public procurement process titled "Mayoral Transportation Arrangements" under the services category, intended for special-purpose road passenger-transport services. The procurement was initially in the planning stage with a projected contract period from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2030, and the procurement status was planned as of April 2025. However, as of 9th July 2025, the process was withdrawn and no longer active. This procurement was to be conducted within the UKJ region of the United Kingdom under legal basis 2023/54, aimed at sub-central government public authority requirements.

The procurement sought to create opportunities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the specialised transport services sector. Although the tender process was cancelled, such opportunities highlight the potential for SMEs specialising in road passenger-transport services to engage with public sector contracts designed to leverage their unique capabilities in efficiently delivering transport-related services for local government needs. Businesses with expertise in specialised transport logistics could have leveraged their strengths to grow within the public authority sector. However, interested businesses may need to look for similar upcoming procurement opportunities from Ashford Borough Council or other related entities.
